| Biography/Admin History: | A fresh fish filleting plant was built by Fishery Products Limited in Burgeo in 1945. This plant was sold in 1955 to Burgeo Fish Industries, whose president, Spencer Lake, operated it until June 1971 when a strike lasting ten and one half months began. At the end of this strike the plant was sold to the Government of Newfoundland, and National Sea Products took over the management with an option to buy after five years. |
